Unable to creat printer on OSX

Nemesis81 commented 8 years ago

got this while trying to create a new printer:

`Running the Python command 'createMachineDef' failed: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Applications/FreeCAD 2.app/Contents/Mod/cura_engine/Commands.py", line 51, in Activated panel = MachineDef.PrintBedTaskPanel() File "/Applications/FreeCAD 2.app/Contents/Mod/cura_engine/MachineDef.py", line 246, in init self.form = uic.loadUi(self.homeDir + "/.FreeCAD/Mod/FreeCAD-CuraEngine-Plugin/MachineDef.ui") File "", line 4, in

Cannot open file`

maybe just a path problem

Just do

mkdir ~/.FreeCAD ln -s /Applications/FreeCAD.app/Contents/Mod/ ~/.FreeCAD/

However even with this mod the program will fail later on. First of all the path has to be set to the Cura engine

/Applications/Cura.app/Contents/MacOS/CuraEngine

but even so something is wrong in the invocation sequence for mac. This package is not yet supported on mac.

OK, for whoever is concerned, these are my mods for the mac.

diff FreeCAD-CuraEngine-Plugin/SlicerPanel.py /Applications/FreeCAD.app/Contents/Mod/FreeCAD-CuraEngine-Plugin/SlicerPanel.py
172c172
<       docDir = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.FileName.replace(docName + ".fcstd", "")
---
>       docDir = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.FileName.replace(docName + ".FCStd", "")

<       _cmdList.insert(1, "-v")

>       _cmdList.insert(1, "slice")
>                 _cmdList.insert(2, "-v")
>                 _cmdList.insert(3, "-j")
>                 _cmdList.insert(4, "/Applications/Cura.app//Contents/Resources/resources/definitions/101Hero.def.json")

>                 _cmdList.append("-l")

In this way a file is produced, however... note that I had to insert by hand the printer definition, since I could not find a default one.
